    Yet it can outperform humans on some tests involving logic. It will never be perfect, but that implies you can test its IQ

      1. Not consistently and not across truly logical tests. They abjectly fail at abstract reasoning. They do well only in very specific cases.
      2. IQ is an objectively awful measure of human intelligence. Why would it be useful for artificial intelligence?
      3. For these tests that are so centered around specific facts: of course a model that has had the entirety of the Internet encoded into it has the answers. The shocking thing is that the model is so lossy that it doesn’t ace the test.

        IQ correlates with a good number of things though. It’a not perfect but it’s not meaningless either.

          And global warming correlates with the decline in piracy rates. IQ is a garbage statistic invented by early 20th century eugenicists to prove that white people were the best.

          You can’t boil down the nuance of the most complex object in the known universe to a single number.

            Not perfectly you can’t. But similarly to how people’s SAT scores predict their future success, IQ tests in aggregate do have predictive power.

        IQ is objectively a good measure of human intelligence. High IQ people have higher educational achievement, income, etc.

      “Test it’s IQ”. The fact that you think IQ is a useful test for intelligence tells me everything I need to know

        The fact you went out of your way to write it’s when I wrote the correct “its” tells me everything I need to know about your educational achievement
